45年の経験が教えてくれた失敗の本質 | Dr. Michael Winter | TEDxInnovation Drive

RTXの最高科学責任者であるマイケル・ウィンター博士は、イノベーションで最も多い失敗は、悪い科学や資源不足ではなく、賢い人々が問いを狭く立ててしまうことにあると主張します。講演では、ブレークスルーが決して物語の終わりではない理由と、チームが問題を解決したかどうかだけでなく、正しい問題を解決したかどうかが重要である点を取り上げます。博士は航空宇宙・防衛分野での45年の経験をもとに、燃料電池、レーザー、燃焼、推進システムなどに触れています。この講演は、独立して運営されたTEDxイベントで行われました。

• 賢いチームが小さすぎる問いを立ててしまう理由
• ブレークスルーがイノベーションの終わりではない理由
• 示された問題ではなく正しい問題を解くこと

Dr. Winter makes the case that the most common failure in innovation isn’t bad science or lack of resources. It’s smart people asking questions that are too small. He shows why the breakthrough is never the end of the story, and why the question that separates great innovators from brilliant failures is not “did we solve it?” but “did we solve the right thing?
